Is this the Google Phone?

There have been lots of rumors about this one - but this may be true.

A questionnaire allegedly received by a Mobileburn forum member hints at specs and an interesting design concept for Google's probably-in-the-works cell phone.

Everything seems believable enough, though it seems like they flip-open QWERTY keypad could be a bit tricky to access from the right side thanks to the permanently-affixed nav buttons; features are said to include 3G data, WiFi, and a 2 megapixel camera, not to mention a nice looking Samsung-penned chassis. The survey suggests that the phone would offer "all the exciting Google services from the PC" and -- thanks largely to targeted advertising -- affordable (as it's been suggested) flat-rate data service and a three-month trial. With the iPhone just months away and the LG Prada around the corner and lots of new BlackBerry devices - this just could make things even more interesting.
